Daily News and NYPD lose their sh** creating a special protected status for Linda Sarsour --- the former by featuring her in a puff-piece -- and -- the latter by announcing they were going to “investigate” somebody's internet "threat" to “spit” in Sarsour's face

The deBlasio NYPD is now officially protecting the
completely wrong kind of people --- by going after a righteously irate citizen,
who might have been marginally guilty of slightly inflammatory speech, instead
of the object of his ire, a true “... Enemy of
the People...” with multiple demonstrable foreign loyalties

The NY Daily News continues it’s generations-long decent
from its patriotic acme during the days of its post-war, anti-Communist populism
and social conservatism --- this time by elevating the cred of a local
Islamic radical at the expense of a run of the mill American doing his run of
the mill American thing, and
>>> taking some potshots at Bay Ridge in the process

The Daily News article, which is so
wrong in so many ways, opened its report, as follows: “Cops are
investigating a social-media threat against a popular Muslim advocate and
co-organizer of last month’s Women’s March on Washington, by a Brooklyn man who
wants to “spit in her face,” officials said Tuesday…. ‘This b---h is in Brooklyn,’ the poster,
identified on Facebook as Glenn Maccioli, said about Linda Sarsour, a
Palestinian-American activist who is also the executive director of the Arab
American Association of New York…. ‘Anyone
know where (in Brooklyn)? I would like to spit in her face,’ Maccioli posted…. He made the threat in a comment on an
article about Sarsour calling President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu two ‘bigoted peas in a hateful pod.’…” (See “EXCLUSIVE: NYPD investigates
Facebook threat to Brooklyn Muslim advocate Linda Sarsour” by Rocco Parascandola &Thomas Tracy, 2/22/17,
NY Daily News/ NYC Crime [http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/exclusive-nypd-investigates-threats-brooklyn-muslim-advocate-article-1.2978395]).

If there was any doubt about how the DN writers and
editors were weighing-in on this, later in the article, the folks at the News supposedly filled-in some
additional “facts” with this: “…. Maccioli responded to the Netanyahu article [referred
to above] after it was posted on the “Bay Ridge Talk” Facebook page on Friday…. After several Facebook posters gave him
spots in Bay Ridge for Sarsour’s home and office, Maccioli promised to make
good on his threat…. He even invited
everyone to watch, stating, ‘If I get the address I will tell you all where and
when. That’s my word.’… Many visitors
to the Facebook page from the conservative Brooklyn community shared [Maccioli’s]
views on Sarsour — but none threatened her.
‘She should be deported back to hell,’ wrote Merill Trilli….”

THE DAILY
NEWS SHOWS HOW IT HAD ITS FINGER ON THE SCALE IN FAVOR OF LINDA SARSOUR AND HER
SPIEL

The Daily
News coverage closed with this tidbit: “….In 2014, a man allegedly threatened and
threw a trash can at her while she was leaving her workplace.”

Those of you who have followed this blog since the time in
2014 referred to by the News in its last item about Sarsour know what a phony
complaint that was. I believe it was
that false alarm by Ms. Sarsour that brought her to my attention (maybe not, it’s
tough to remember things at my age
--- I never liked her, so it’s
tough to recall when I started disliking her…..).

So now it looks like Linda Sarsour is developing a real MO of making false reports about people that don't seem to like her. She complains to the cops about threatening words and behavior when really nothing close to illegal has happened. And, because of Sarsour's deBlasio connections, the cops obviously are on board to do her bidding.

Going by most of the commenters above, readers seem to think my piece was only about Linda Sarsour.....

Certainly, I wanted my followers to know that Bay Ridge's most mouthy Islamist and generally radical spokesperson had done it again --- made an unjustified complaint against a person, whose behavior and/or remarks were less than gentlemanly, but whose acts, if any, were minimal. In fact, I think that the wrongly-charged internet commenter was exercising legitimate and protected "FREE SPEECH" --- after all this man wasn't shouting "FIRE" in a crowded theater, he had typed "SPIT" in a comment or two on a blog that engages in some "political" content.

MY PRINCIPAL POINT WAS THAT BOTH THE NYC POLICE AND THE NY DAILY NEWS HAD GIVEN CREDENCE TO AND ADDITIONAL VALIDITY TO LINDA SARSOUR'S THIN-SKINNED AND ALARMIST CHARGE AGAINST GLENN MACCIOLI

FYI, these charges by Sarsour and the so-called "police investigation" seem to have a little "LEGS" --- and it's well beyond the NYDN coverage and this blog's NEGATIVE mention. The Huff-Po did it's own EXTENSIVE take on Sarsour's inflammatory charges against this fellow Glenn Miccioli --- including renaming Bay Ridge's own Brian Boshell and restating the charges made against him by Ms. Sarsour quite a while ago (See "Police Are Investigating Online Threat To Muslim Activist Linda Sarsour" by Antonia Blumberg, 2/22/17, Huffington Post/ Politics [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/muslim-activist-linda-sarsour-threatened-on-social-media_us_58adfcc0e4b05ca474a05192]). Interestingly, a HUFF-PO CAPTION in that article below a photo of Linda Sarsour said this: "....Muslim activist Linda Sarsour received online threats last week...." Is that a "fact" or just more "fake news" ? ? ?

According to Anotonia Blumburg's article in the Wa-Po, "Police are investigating threats made on social media to Muslim American activist Linda Sarsour.... The prominent activist and Women’s March on Washington co-chair reported the threat to police on Friday. A man going by the name of Glenn Maccioli reportedly wrote on Facebook: 'This b***h is in Brooklyn. Anyone know where? I would like to spit in her face.'... The comment was made under an article about Sarsour posted on the “Bay Ridge Talk” Facebook page, according to New York Daily News.... The New York Police Department’s Hate Crime Task Force confirmed to The Huffington Post on Wednesday that it was investigating the incident as a case of 'aggravated harassment.' Sgt. Lee Jones said the investigation was ongoing and no arrests have been made...."

In addition to the "details" about Sarsour's charges against Glenn Maccioli and Brian Boshell, the Huff-Po article went into a mini-rant about Islamophobia and did a virtual hagiography of Linda Sarsour.....

Gail, this terrorist apologist, Linda Ssssore, is funded by Mayor deBlasio, pushed by the alt-left media and protected by the cops. Trump needs HIS Feds to come down on her like a ton of bricks and ship her off to Gitmo, by helicopter or C-130 -- whence she can make good her escape into the Gulf Stream, coming ashore at The Beach at Inch... 'Do yuh follow my drift?'

Yes, I certainly do remember that, it happened in September, 2014 and Sarsour's charges involved Brian Boshell. As of late 2015 the Sarsour charges were disposed of by diversion to a detox and rehab regimen for Mr. Boshell in lieu of criminal prosecution. Look at the real facts here. It is two and a half years between a pair of very questionable incidents. So far, the real facts show that there probably haven't been any real threats against Ms. Sarsour in spite of her own open and notorious rabble-rousing statements on a variety of subjects.

The funny thing is you used to have all the local politicians kissing up to her thinking she was influential in the Arabic Community in Bay Ridge when most of them can't even stand her. Apparently she made up the New York Times story about the two girls almost whole cloth.
